he's the top spy in america, and he can't keep an affair secret. there's some human quality in there and humor at the same time. it's remarkable to me. it's men in power thinking they can get away with it, bill clinton, john edwards, newt gingrich, and it's endemic of women in power thinking they can live by different rules. >> let's turn now to the royal family. even the royal family couldn't escape the litany? >> absolutely not. in this case, though, prince harry. he had trouble after trouble. if you invite a bunch of people to your room, get drunk, play strip poker, and allow them to take pictures, you're going to be in the press. while the duchess unfortunately for her had some expectations of privacy, she was alone on a french villa, and they used long lenses to take pictures of her. completely different scenario. that's why he deserves to be in the media and she doesn't for what she did. >> is it a double standard, though, because he's a guy, and so everyone has said, you know, they brush it off a little bit. if a woman, a female member of th
